After watching the fianle of Project Runway (Yes, I'm completely addicted and devastated that Rami didn't win) : ( But...did you notice the beautiful headbands that he used on the girls for his evening collection?

I have no idea who the designer is the for headbands used on the show, knowing Rami, he probably made them himself. It inpired me to post about some of the exceptionally talented headband/accessories designers out there who make these stunning pieces, appropriate both for the bride or your maids. Take a look...

Antique gold antique metallic lace is hand-stitched onto a delicate satin ribbon, and then freshwater pearls are stitched down the center on top. satin ribbon ties at the back that can be tied or else pinned into your hair.$625

After seeing all these gorgeous headband everywhere, I decided I wanted to wear one for my wedding. But the ones I like with the rhinestones, the vintage-look ones, are all way out of my price range. So, I bought a cheap plastic headband, covered it in quilt batting and champagne satin, and tacked on a vintage rhinestone necklace. It looks amazing and costs less than $20. Yay!
